Here is a set of gender signs that are quite obvious, I think. I
have no idea if it is actually used anywhere, or the picture is just
art. I like it, regardless ;)

Some kennel club in the U.S. used pictures of dogs - a
pointer for the men's and a setter for the women's. (Quite
apart from being able to recognize the pun, I hope they
didn't have many visitors who weren't able to recognize the
different breeds of hunting dog!)

An "Apfelbier" would be a beer - brewed with barley and perhaps
wheat - to which apples have been added, a bit like the fruited
lambics of Belgium.
Cider is made (ideally) from nothing but apples.

Re: Three biggest surprises in Europe
Exactly stated; though no one referred to this beer as a 'lambic' I was
in Belgium and perhaps it was . Excellent and refreshing but a bit mild
on alcohol compared to most of the other offerings. Lamoral was a
blonde triple BTW...<hic>
